Ruben Martinez L.A. Weekly 08/11/2021
The wealth of tango history -- cultural, social, political -- from Latin America as well as the U.S. is impressive in its breadth. Go to Full Review

11/18/2012 excellent movie!!!! Valeria Lynch is just the best singer in the world!!!! See more 10/20/2012 It you are looking for an action-packed movie with laser swords, explosions and a complicated storyline - look elsewhere. This movie is all about the music and dancing- gorgeous full length tango clips featuring wonderful well-known stars from movies and television held together with a very simple story line narrated through song and dance by Rubà (C)n Juarez, Valeria Lynch and the wonderful, inimitable Raul Julia. If you love dance this movie is a must-see! See more 01/29/2009 Very creaky movie but motivated by a real love of the tango. There are some wonderful tangos, expecially the old milongueros dancing La Cumparsita. Flawed but some fine tango sequences See more 03/24/2008 The rating is just for the tangos. The film is nothing special, if not bad. See more 01/16/2008 Although the plot is a tad silly, it's worth watching for the tangos, especially the pay-off to Ruben Juarez's line "there's only one way to dance the tango: the right way". There are also some nice reconstructions of old fashioned tango - like canyengue. The people who made the DVD knew who their audience were when they put in a menu for dance sequences. I hope Valeria Lynch sued the wardrobe and makeup people! See more Read all reviews
